Federal power marketer Bonneville Power Administration has proposed holding its power and transmission rates flat, according to a statement sent to the press.

Due to the administration’s strong financial year, administrator John Hairston said the BPA is able to stave off inflation for another two years by keeping its rates flat for power and transmission customers.

The year’s finances give the administration a chance to include in power rates $129 million per year in additional risk protection without a rate increase. This increases the chances that the administration will have continued strong financial performance in 2024 and 2025 and be able to have a buffer against increased volatility in the region.
